DALLAS, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa, North America’s largest community association management firm, announced today the addition of PetScreening™ to Associa Advantage, its exclusive group-purchasing and vendor management program. Through the partnership, Associa-managed communities will gain access to PetScreening’s best-in-class pet management solution, helping association boards and managers streamline compliance, maintain accurate records, and support safer, more pet-friendly communities.

PetScreening's specialized tool kit supports pet registration, assistance animal accommodation request verification, centralized record keeping, and enhanced communication across community associations and condominium communities. Trusted by 28,000+ communities representing millions of homes, the PetScreening platform helps housing providers and association managers streamline compliance, improve operational efficiency, and maintain accurate pet and animal records. Additionally, it strengthens emergency preparedness by equipping boards and managers with timely access to critical pet information when rapid communication and response are essential.

“PetScreening helps community and condo associations manage pet-related responsibilities with greater visibility, consistency, and efficiency-while promoting responsible pet ownership and a better homeowner experience”, said John R. Bradford III, founder and CEO of PetScreening. “Our collaboration with Associa Advantage will help community managers have better visibility into the pets and animals living within their communities so they can strengthen communication, support responsible pet ownership and promote safer, more welcoming communities for everyone.”

PetScreening helps associations reduce administrative burden and navigate Fair Housing compliance. Backed by certified Fair Housing experts and legal counsel, the platform enables consistent policy enforcement, mitigates risk, strengthens communication, and reinforces emergency preparedness.

“Pet policies and assistance animal accommodation requests can be complex for community associations, making effective tools critical,” said Jennifer Shannon, president of Coming Home Media Group. “Adding PetScreening to Associa Advantage expands access to a trusted solution that supports responsible pet ownership, bolsters community safety, and elevates the resident experience.”

Every pet registered through PetScreening is automatically enrolled in FidoAlert, North America's largest free lost pet recovery network, providing an added layer of protection for pet owners. Since its launch, FidoAlert has helped reunite more than 70,000 lost pets with their families, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to pet safety and recovery.
